DocuSign,
the global standard for eSignature, today announced DocuSign Ink, the
world’s first personal electronic signature, now available to billions
of consumers around the globe. DocuSign Ink helps consumers finish
personal business faster by eliminating once and for all the hassles and
costs of printing, faxing, scanning, and overnighting signed documents.
With DocuSign Ink, individuals can safely and securely drag and drop
their legally binding signature and initials into documents, place text
and check boxes to complete forms, and then return via email.
“DocuSign Ink changes everything by putting the power of the cloud in
your signature,” said Keith Krach, chairman and CEO of DocuSign.
“DocuSign Ink gives individuals an easier, faster, and more secure way
to finish personal business. With DocuSign Ink, no one will ever have to
use pen and paper again to sign a document.”
DocuSign Ink runs on the proven DocuSign Global Network already trusted
by more than ten million business users to complete more than 100
million transactions. While DocuSign business offerings help companies
manage the entire process of electronically sending documents,
contracts, and agreements to collect legally binding signatures and data
from customers, employees, partners, and suppliers, DocuSign Ink is a
new personal eSignature service that helps consumers quickly and easily
return documents with their signature based on the method most
convenient and comfortable for them:
-
Web Browsers and Email – Sign and return documents from any
browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari) and all
email providers (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Hotmail) by emailing
documents to ink@docusign.com

return documents in a native Apple environment with the DocuSign Ink

Android environment via DocuSign Ink’s Android app

“Electronic signature is as fundamental a service as eMail, eCommerce,
or cloud storage. Any company or individual can use eSignature to
improve business results, save time, and transact more quickly and
securely,” said Roger Kay, founder and president of Endpoint
Technologies Associates. “DocuSign Ink brings personal electronic
signature to the masses. It’s your signature in the cloud.”
DocuSign Ink is designed to work with most any document type, including
Microsoft Office (like .doc, .ppt, and .xls,), Adobe PDF with form field
recognition, all scanned and faxed documents, and all text and image
files (like .tif, .jpg, .png, and .eps).
"This app is absolutely gorgeous and can save you time and money by
canceling out printing, scanning, faxing, and all of that stuff we no
longer like to do,” said Drew Olanoff of The Next Web. “It’s good for
the environment too, since you’re saving paper that’s just going to be
scanned back into the computer and emailed anyway."
DocuSign Ink is:
-
Easy – No printing, faxing, scanning, or overnighting;
Documents can be DocuSigned in a matter of seconds
-
Safe & Secure – The DocuSign ID Card protects the user’s
identity and signature with a clickable audit trail direct from the
signature showing who signed, when, and where
-
Unlimited – DocuSign Ink provides unlimited signing and
unlimited storage of DocuSigned documents
"DocuSign Ink is one of the coolest productivity apps we've seen take
advantage of HTC’s innovative digital pen technology,” said Jad
Boniface, developer program manager at HTC. “Customers will love signing
all types of documents from their HTC tablets. DocuSign has brought the
future of electronic signature here now."
DocuSign Ink is available for download in the Apple
App Store and at DocuSign.com.
Within its first ten days of launch, DocuSign Ink shot to the #2 iPad
productivity app in the Apple App Store with more than 100,000 downloads.
Comments from Apple® App Store customer reviews include:
“If you’ve ever had to get a document signed and returned to someone,
you know that, getting email, printing, sigining, and faxing to the
appropriate person is pretty cumbersome. With DocuSign Ink you get the
email, “open in”, choose DocuSign Ink, place your signature, hit finish,
and email back. Takes seconds. Awesome, awesome app.” – Crouvalis

“It works perfectly – I’m throwing out [my] fax machine as I write
this--thank you DocuSign.” – Mreily (11/7/11)
“This app solves a long standing problem with using Office docs, time
sheets, and PDF forms on my iPhone which has no way to sign them
electronically. Now I don’t have to fax hard copies into the main office
wasting paper and time.” – Louis Pena (11/6/11)
“What a concept, absolutely love this app! This is definitely a
winner; I’d give it 10 stars if I could!” – Leisure Gal (11/4/11)

within minutes, with no printer, no pen, no scanner, no fax, no FedEx!”
– Pete 9999 (11/2/11)
“This is just awesome! Forget about printing documents just to sign
and scan again. It’s super easy and fast.” –Rzouain (11/8/11)
“I can officially declare that DocuSign Ink has signed, sealed and
delivered…Simple enough for anyone to use, but feature-rich enough to
get the job done! I wish this app existed when my printer/fax/copier
broke down over the summer. I needed to sign a NDA form ASAP and had to
use 3-4 apps to get the document downloaded, signed, and emailed…Your
app’s simple task is going to make a huge impact on the world.” –
Marsha Tyszler (11/7/11)
